Introduction of Internet Protection Laws

In February 2023, Popular streamer QTCinderella woke up to the saddening news that her face and likeness were used to make pornographic content using deep fake technology (Ryu, 2023). The streamer shared the news while in tears, explaining that her life would never be the same after the news became public. This is one of the many cases that have arisen concerning internet protection laws. It is now possible to utilize someone's likeness and use it for your own profit and monetary gain.

Previously, the government and all technology stakeholders have taken a laissez-faire approach toward policy surrounding data protection in America (Ryu, 2023). However, it is time that stakeholders and the government wake up to cases such as that of QTCinderella and create policies that address the issue. There is a need for a policy that protects people from cases like this. This can help prevent cases such as QTCinderella and provide punishment as a deterrent for future criminals. If there are no laws, the cases will continue to pile up, and lives will continue to be ruined. This is why governments and stakeholders need to create policies that prohibit the use of someone's likeness without their consent. References
